CAKE-CUTTER AND ROLLING-PIN.

Specication forming part of Letters Patent N0. 50,732, dated October 31, 1865.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ISAAC N. PYLE, of Decatur, in the county of Adams and State of In- Awith the cake-cutter removed. Fig. 3 isa cross-section taken in the line x x, Fig. l.:

Similarletters ofrefereuceindicatelike parts. My invention consists in the combination,

with an ordinary or any other suitable rollingpin, otl a cake-cutter, the latter being a case carrying any desired number ot' cutters of various shapes and styles, into which the roller is to be inserted when the cakes are to be cut out.

A represents the rolling-pin, which may be of any desired size or length. It may be of thc ordinary kind, having its handles formed out of the same piece ot' wood or made separately, and rigidly secured to it; but I prefer to make the rolling-pin without handles,'and insert a rod in each end, and place the handles aa upon the rod, a hole, ofcourse, having previously been made through them, and securing them with a nut on the end of the rods, or

in any suitable way. This renders the operation of' rolling more easy, as is well known.

B is the case carrying the cake-cutters. It is made of a size that will permit it to be forced over the roller, so as to envelop or partially envelop the same. Around the outside of this case are arranged the cutters b c. In the present instance the cutters are merely strips of tin soldered to the case, which have been previously been informs to cut diEerent-shaped cakesfor instance, a heartshaped cutter, b, around cutter, U, dre. Quite a number of them may be secured laround the case and a great variety of shapes adopted.

It will be understood that the roller is to bc used as an ordinary roller for rolling out dough into sheets; that it can then be rubbed off and enveloped in the case. This can then be rolled over the sheet ot' dough, and the cakes will be cutout quickly and accurately. rIhe cakes so soon as cut drop out of the cutters more readily than when ordinary flat-surfaced cake-cutters are used.

It is obvious that several different cases, carryingdierent-shaped cutters, can be used on the same roller, and thus a very great variety of cakes may be had.

I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent- The combination ot' a cake-cutter with a rolling-pin, substantially as described.
